Description

[Detailed Description of the Invention] The present invention relates to a front turn signal device for a motorcycle, a three-wheeled motor vehicle, etc., in which a pair of leg shield plates are each provided with a front turn signal housing recess, and a turn signal unit is housed in each housing recess. It is an object of the present invention to provide the above-mentioned front turn signal device, which facilitates installation of the turn signal and has improved appearance.

In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a lamp, a lamp support that supports the lamp, a lens body that covers the lamp, and a mounting piece that integrally projects from the inner surface of the lens body. A pair of turn signal units are formed by a fixing means that is detachably fixed inside the lens body, and a pair of leg shield plates disposed on both left and right sides of the main frame,
A front turn signal accommodating recess is provided respectively, each turn signal unit is accommodated in each front turn signal accommodating recess, the opening of the front turn signal accommodating recess is closed by the lens body, and the lamp support is attached to the inner surface of the front turn signal accommodating recess. The outer surface of the lens body is formed to be flush with the outer surface of the peripheral portion of the front blinker accommodating recess of the leg shield plate.

An embodiment of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. F is a main frame of a motorcycle, which has a head pipe 1 and a down tube 2 that is connected to the head pipe 1 and slopes backward and downward;
A step plate 3 is formed on the main frame F immediately behind the down tube 2. A steering stem 5 of a front fork 4 supporting a front wheel W is supported on the head pipe 1 so as to be steerable, and a bracket 6 projecting forward is fixed to the outside of the head pipe 1, and a head light 7 is attached to this.

A front shield 10 is constructed by integrally molding a pair of leg shield plates 8, 8 disposed on the left and right sides of the down tube 2 and an intermediate plate 9 connecting the two plates 8, 8 from synthetic resin. At the same time as forming the shield 10, a headlight accommodating cylinder 11 is placed on the upper part of the intermediate plate 9, and a front blinker accommodating recess 1 is placed on the upper part of each leg shield plate 8, 8.
2 and 12 are molded, respectively.

Both front turn signal housing recesses 12, 12 are provided with turn signal units U, as described below, respectively.
Accommodates U.

The turn signal unit U includes a lamp 13, a lamp support 14 that supports the lamp 13 and has a reflective inner surface, and a lens body 1 that covers the lamp 13.
5, and a fixing means C for removably fixing a mounting piece 17 projecting integrally from the inner surface near one side edge of the lens body 15 to the lamp support 14 inside the lens body 14. The fixing means C includes a U-shaped nut member 20 that is fitted into the mounting piece 17 and integrally has the female threaded tube 19, and is screwed into the female threaded tube 19 through the nut member 20, the attachment piece 17, and the lamp support 14. It is provided with a screw 21 to be attached. Further, a locking hole 16 is bored near the other side edge of the lens body 15 to engage with a locking claw 18 protruding from the lamp support 14 .

Further, the socket 22 of the lamp 13 is passed through the lamp support 14, and the mounting piece 30, which is integral with the socket 22, is clamped to the lamp support 14 by the screw 21.

When installing the turn signal unit U, insert the periphery of the lens body 15 into the front turn signal housing recess 1.
The end faces of the pair of internally threaded cylindrical parts 23, 23 protruding from the outer surface of the lamp support 14 are engaged with the opening edges of the front blinker housing recess 1 to close it.
2, screws 24, 24 are passed through the peripheral wall thereof, and screwed into the internally threaded cylindrical portions 23, 23.

When the turn signal unit U is installed, the outer surface of the lens body 15 is smoothly continuous with the outer surface of the peripheral portion of the front turn signal housing recess 12 of the leg shield plate 8.

When installing the front shield 10, the outer periphery of the headlight 7 is covered with the headlight housing cylinder part 11, and the bottom surface of the housing cylinder part 11 is attached to the support piece 25 connected to the front end of the bracket 6, and both leg shield plates are attached. Attach the lower parts of 8 and 8 to the step plate 3, respectively.

A cover 26 for covering the downtube 2 from the rear is fixed to the rear surface of the intermediate plate 9.

In the figure, 27 is a fender of the front wheel W, 28 is a horn, and 29 is a main switch.

As described above, according to the present invention, the lamp 13 and
a lamp support 14 supporting the lamp 1;
3, and a pair of fixing means C for removably fixing a mounting piece 17 integrally provided on the inner surface of the lens body 15 to the lamp support 14 inside the lens body 15. Turn signal unit U
A pair of leg shield plates 8 disposed on the left and right sides of the main frame F are each provided with a front blinker housing recess 12, each of the blinker units U is housed in each front blinker housing recess 12, and the lens body 15 closes the opening of the front blinker accommodating recess 12 and fixes the lamp support 14 to the inner surface of the front blinker accommodating recess 12 .
2, the pair of left and right turn signal units U can be easily attached to the pair of left and right leg shield plates 8, and after installation, the lamps of the turn signal unit U can be easily attached. The entire support body 14 is neatly and compactly housed in the front turn signal housing recess 12 of the leg shield plate 8, and the lens body 1
Since the outer surface of the leg shield plate 8 can form a smooth continuous surface with the outer surface of the leg shield plate 8, the aerodynamic characteristics of the leg shield plate 8 are not impaired due to the turn signal unit U, and the leg shield plate 8 also allows the lens body 15 and the lamp support 14 are properly protected,
Furthermore, since it is possible to create a sense of unity between the lens body 15 and the leg shield plate 8, the fixing means C of the lens body 15 to the lamp support 14 is fixed to the lens body 1.
Coupled with the effect that the lens body 15 is not directly exposed to the outer surface of the lens body 15 because it is covered by the lens body 15, a leg shield plate with a blinker that has an extremely good appearance as a whole can be obtained.
